Stobart will also invest in £1 million in ground handling equipment - including Aviramp ramps - as it gears up to handle more than 500 Loganair arrivals and departures each week at the airports.

Stobart staff who deal directly with customers will also wear Loganair uniforms.

Graeme Undy, Stobart Aviation Services managing director, said: “We entered the ground handling market at Stansted in 2018 and are proud of how we’ve been able to demonstrate Stobart standards and use real-time technology and innovation to deliver quality services to our clients.

"Our expansion into Scotland in this new arrangement with Loganair will bring these standards to more and more customers in 2019.”

The agreement comes a day after Loganair announced its first foray into continental Europe by taking over the running of the Glasgow-Dusseldorf service from Eurowings from 31 March.
